Dollhouse

Anybody else watching this? I Tivo'd the first one, just because after "Firefly" anything Joss Whedon does is worth at least a look, and it's surprisingly good. There are a lot of directions they can go with it.

Surprised Fox didn't give it more of a push. I'd bet the vast majority of people don't even know it's on.

 

Finally, I'm in the majority. What's it about?

 

It's yet more non-Pantera programming. You wouldn't be interested.

 

That's so funny.

 

You're not only in the majority, Pall, you're in the vast majority, which sounds even cooler.

 

It's probably very good. But if I watch it and like it, I cross the line from "guy who likes a couple Joss Whedon shows" over to "Joss Whedon fan."

I can't cross that line and look myself in the mirror in the morning.

 

Or you could just say you're watching it for Eliza Dushku.

 

And that's never a bad thing.

 

My family were huge Buffy and Firefly fans, Whedon is a fellow alumnus of Wesleyan, and, as noted, there was Ms. Dushku.
So I gave the show my best shot. Sorry, just doesn't do it for me. Maybe if it weren't on Friday...

 

I clicked on this hoping it would be about Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House.

Epic Fail. I'm full of it.

 

Huh? Not until after Firefly? Anything Whedon did was worth a look even before Firefly.

 

I don't mean literally chronologically after, just that because he created one of my all-time favorites I'll take a look at whatever he does.
